Giacomo Gaetanis was a Cardinal of the Catholic Church and Bishop of Sermoneta.

Biography
Giacomo Gaetanis was made a Cardinal of the Catholic Church under Pope Alexander VI, representing Sermoneta. In 1499, his father Duke Onorato of Sermoneta died, and he visited Rome that same year; the Pope sought for Gaetanis' family to pay the Denarii Sancti Petri tax to Rome, which they had neglected to pay. Gaetanis said that his brothers were fighting over the dukedom, and that he could not pay. The Pope said that Gaetanis would stay in Rome as his "guest", using his property as escrow; he had Gaetanis imprisoned at the Castel Sant'Angelo and 80,000 ducats looted from him to serve as Giulia Farnese's stipend.
